Rory Gallagher - FUEL TO THE FIRE Lyrics

(anthem-like instrumental intro)

Had me a whiskey, and I chased it.
Got me some trouble, gonna face it.
Well if I had a trump card, I would place it.
That's for sure. Yeah.

I had a dream, but I can't trace it.
I call out your name, so you might hear it
But it only adds fuel to the fire.
In my soul. Yeah.

(short instrumental)

If I could just re-write the pages.
Wake up with peace, with the way it is.
I don't want to live in this world, if you can't grace it.
Anymore. Anymore, yeah.

(instrumental--superb! Some of Rory's best ever playing and then he says a little "yeah")

Friends try to raise my spirits higher.
But there's no dulling this strong desire.
They don't feel the heat of the fire.
In my soul. In my soul.

Had me a whiskey, and I chased it.
Got me some trouble, gonna face it.
Well if I had a trump card, I would place it.
Yeah, at your door. Yeah, yeah...aw..

(instrumental with anthem-like fade)
